Strategy has added 34,164 Bitcoin in a single week, paying roughly $2.54 billion at an average price of $74,395 per coin between April 13 and April 19. The purchase lifts the company’s total holdings to 815,061 BTC, acquired at an overall average cost of $75,527.
The entire position, valued at $61.56 billion at the time of purchase, now has a market value of $61.25 billion and an unrealized loss of $325 million. It marks Strategy’s largest weekly addition in one year and five months, underscoring Michael Saylor’s continued commitment to building the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury.
The buying has been methodical. In the weeks leading up to this latest tranche, Strategy purchased 13,927 BTC on April 13, 4,871 on April 6, 1,031 on March 23, and 22,337 on March 16, among others. Smaller acquisitions in February and January – ranging from several hundred to more than 22,000 coins – have kept the accumulation on a steady quarterly cadence, gradually increasing reserves while the company reports a 5.6% Bitcoin yield year-to-date.
How the Move Could Affect Bitcoin’s Price
Coinbase Institutional noted that corporate treasuries, including Strategy, have quadrupled their share of the total Bitcoin supply to more than 4% over the past two years, with Strategy alone holding 780,897 BTC before the latest addition. Such persistent buying may tighten liquid supply beyond what many investors anticipate, especially if it coincides with a technical breakout.
That said, long-term holder accumulation and coins leaving exchanges could reinforce this effect, potentially amplifying moves by breakout traders, systematic funds, and momentum algorithms. At the same time, anticipated ETF flows, miner selling, and derivatives hedging might blunt the immediate price impact in any single session. Strategy has signaled it will keep purchasing indefinitely.
 
On-chain metrics show the long-term holder’s realized price now anchored at $45,000 and projected to climb toward $50,000 over the next 90 days, reflecting committed buyers steadily lifting the market’s cost basis.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin rose 2.22% in the past 24 hours to $76,465.69, outperforming the broader market’s 1.65% gain. The advance was supported by nearly $1 billion in spot ETF inflows last week and a 71% correlation with gold, pointing to continued institutional demand and inflation-hedge positioning.
A hold above $75,170 support keeps a retest of the recent $78,320 high possible; a break below that level could open a retreat toward $73,221.
